ALLEN PARK - Detroit Lions guard Stephen Peterman was informed today that the NFL has rescinded both fines against him for chop block penalties he was called for in the game against the New York Jets.

Peterman was called for the two 15-yard penalties during the game and was later fined $5,000 for each infraction. After reviewing the film, the league sent a letter to Peterman saying that he did not commit the alleged penalties and the fines were rescinded.

Neither penalty played a major part in the team's loss to the Jets. The first chop block was called on the fifth play of the game, but the Lions overcame it to score a touchdown. The second infraction, in the second half, was declined because the Lions completed a 7-yard pass on a third-and-9 play and were forced to punt.
